Faint NEOs List

Follow-up of very faint targets, magnitude 21-25, in urgent need of observations

This page reports a list of faint one-opposition Near-Earth Objects (NEOs)
in urgent need of observations. This site is very similar to the Priority
List (PL), but it works complementary to the PL.

The targets for this service are those NEOs listed as URGENT or NECESSARY
in the PL that do not meet the requirements of visibility of the PL any
longer. As soon as the reach their "End of Visibility" status in the PL, they
are immediately transferred into this page. We hope that observers with
bigger facilities could follow-up them again before they disappear completely.

Objects brighter than magnitude 25.0 V and at least 30 degrees of elongation
from the sun are eligible for this list according to this
PLOT.
This service is updated on a daily basis using data coming from the
Minor Planet Center
and the NEODyS databases.

Each category is represented by an abbreviation and the
background color in the first column as indicated. For
more information read the
"Explanation of Symbols".
